With a renewed focus on safety after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary, criminal justice experts are taking a look and analyzing these violent rampages.
“Almost 70% have a mental illness component. A little bit of half of them have some sort of criminal history,” del Carmen said.“The problem with that, of course, they each chose a different platform in which they wanted to let the world know. Sometimes it was seconds or minutes before the event took place, so there’s no way for law enforcement to know or detect or isolate the event,” he said.
“[Legislatures] should carefully consider the current age restrictions to buy weapons, particularly assault rifles. And they should consider developing a mechanism regarding the legal purchase of weapons being reportable to local law enforcement,” the report states. “Having said that, I do not believe that an AR-15 doesn’t belong in the hands of an 18-year-old. We found that were some circumstances in some of these active shooting scenarios or mass shooting scenarios where most of the individuals involved in these cases actually bought the weapons legally,” he said.
